Clippers trying to make a comeback then have back to back buckets wiped out due to questionable offensive foul calls.

Imagine that it's a final four of Pacers-Heat and OKC-Spurs something everyone predicted back in November.

I'm okay with it. The Spurs would have destroyed the Clippers, but I think OKC can give them a good series with Durant and Westbrook.

I think OKC beats the Spurs. I think it's a paper rock scissors with OKC-Spurs-Heat. I think Heat beat OKC, OKC beats Spurs, Spurs beat Heat.

It's really tough to call, but I think the Spurs beat OKC. I wouldn't be surprised either way. Miami will beat Indiana. In the finals, I think the winner of the SA-OKC series will take it, but I'm not really confident either way. Miami doesn't look like a champion to me, but they are battle tested and they have LeBron so I can't count them out either.

I really can't see OKC beating Miami in a playoff series. Miami has a player who can match Durant and actually guard him in crunch time. OKC is also the only opponent where Miami will have the edge in the bench department as well.

OKC also has by far the worst coach of the final 4. Yes, I'm still sticking with Vogel as a good coach for now.

Brooks and Cal are both ranked too high.

I'm way late to the party but my take is I'm not convinced the refs rig the games, but it's not inconceivable either.
At any rate, these guys make really good money (like way into the six digits - I think Donaghy was making 250 thousand orsomething). Shit like this just shouldn't happen.

It's so pathetic that Either TNT or ESPN has Steve Javie as there in-game consultant guy. That guy was a f****** idiot as a ref, t'd people up over his owm ego being hurt, and was a sarcastic shithead. This is the guy a network shows as a consultant?
